THE MEAT TRUST.
IS IT OPERATING IN NEW ZEALAND. STATEMENT BY MR. MASSEY. Received Australian Cable Association. , London, March 14. Mr Masse)', in a 1 paper read at the Colonial Institute, detailed the present condition of the primary industries in New Zealand, particularly the exports, including; meat, butter and wool. Since leaving New Zealand lie had noticed that some newspapers had stated that, the Anient an Moat Trust had commenced business in New Zealand. He was somewhat suspicious of those people's doings, which he closely watched, but he was not' going to pass judgment without hearing evidence. Any steps necessary to protect the people of New Zealand would be taken. He was more anxious, however, about the control at this end. Once the trust got the control of the London meat market they would squeeze not only the consumers in Europe, but also the producers in Australia and,Nexv Zealand. Sir Joseph Ward said it was up -to the statesmen of Britain and the dominions to devise a,tariff which would safeguard the mutual interests of the Emnire.
